FAQ
Questions people ask before buying
Quick answers before you add to cart.
Every unit passes a full functional test on intake, print quality, connectivity, and mechanical parts, then a second test right before it's packed and shipped. You'll get an intake report noting exactly what was checked. This isn't a "used, as-is" listing.
Both cover parts and labor. The 2-year is included free with every printer. The 3-year extended warranty is an add-on at checkout if this printer runs regularly in a business.
Use the compatibility checker on this page when shown. Pairings are inferred from public specs, not a TPO-tested guarantee. Call (312) 416-1518 (Mon–Fri 10am–6pm CST) before you buy if you are unsure.
This is a receipt/POS printer. It does not print 4×6 shipping labels.
Every printer includes free install support by phone or email for the life of the printer, not just a return window. Most setups take about 10 minutes. Start with Setup Studio, or call (312) 416-1518 (Mon–Fri 10am–6pm CST).
Ask for an RMA within 30 days of receipt. A restocking fee applies. The returns page has the fees and what we cannot take back.
